I've wanted to do a series on great directors, and I think the idea was, in part, to show films that have this status of great craftsmanship.

Here you have a true innocent, rather than a naive adult.

It's one of those films that just knocks your socks off.

I want to manufacture a feud.

The best meal I've had was in Tavarua, an island in Fiji. It was just before sunset. A bunch of guys had just caught all this yellow fin tuna; they literally brought this huge wooden table down to the sand, pulled the tuna from the boat, dropped it on top of the table, pulled the skin off and sliced the tuna up.

In spite of being professionally gregarious, in my nonpaid hours I'm a bit of a hermit. After being around a crew of fifty people for twelve hours a day on a film set, I really like my alone time, and as always, I abhor small talk.
